Paco did not have a good impression of the Harrod family. They only saw him as a burden and a disgrace. They never said anything good about him. As the supreme king of the eagle monster beasts, how could he tolerate stupid humans humiliating him like this? If his son were not in the Harrod family, he would have already regarded them as his enemies. “You stay here for now. I'll meet them.” Denzel opened the door solemnly and hurried to the living room. The leader of the Pill Guild had the same status as their family head, so he was sure that the head of the Harrod family would not dare to neglect him. Sure enough, when the leader arrived at the living room, he found that many people were already there. The leader of the Pill Guild and the head of the Harrod family sat drinking tea without speaking. Denzel felt nervous at this scene. Denzel was considered an ordinary family member, so his appearance did not cause any commotion. The leader and family head smiled afte
If they had a conflict, Maurice still stood a chance. If he offered some reasonable terms, he could definitely win over this person. Anyone could be bought over. He just needed to offer the right terms. Maurice smiled brightly at this thought. Elmer was a smart person and immediately knew Maurice was up to no good. If Denzel really found a talent, he would not give up so easily. Elmer smiled awkwardly and said, “Who knows if that’s the truth? Maybe they're making up stories. If there's such a person, why would he join the Harrod family?” Elmer had a point. Although the Harrod family was quite powerful, alchemists would generally not choose to join them. They could develop better in a guild while joining a family would only mean servitude. Hence, alchemists would usually choose to join the Pill Guild. “Nothing is set in stone,” Maurice said with a smile, not backing down. If the Harrod family still wanted to do business with the Pill Guild, they had to compromise.
As the saying went, the grass was always greener on the other side. It was normal for the reclusive world to go to the secular world to seek better development. “We have no control over this, and no one can stop the practitioner world from making a choice,” Fennel said helplessly. He knew that this was a difficult matter to deal with. Once the reclusive world merged with the secular world, all the commoners would suffer. Even the officials would not be able to do anything. There were too many powerful people in the reclusive world with no one to govern them at all. Without the existence of a leader, they would do whatever they wanted. As the two discussed this serious topic, Denzel and Paco found them. Philip did not deliberately hide his tracks, so it was easy to find him. Denzel stood in front of Philip, panting. He was so worried that Philip had escaped and he would be doomed. Philip and Fennel looked at Denzel’s miserable state in puzzlement. Why did this guy
“Since you've mentioned it, I should grant your wish.” Philip chuckled as if this was Fennel’s idea. Fennel was unfazed. This should be the way between them. Philip and Fennel were quickly brought into the hall, where everyone looked at the door expectantly. They were very interested in the alchemist Maurice mentioned. When did such a talented alchemist appear in the reclusive practice world? Everyone was puzzled. By right, the appearance of such a powerful alchemist would definitely cause a big commotion, so this silence was a bit strange. Philip appeared amidst everyone’s anticipation. They were confused at the sight of Philip and Fennel. Did Denzel not go out to fetch the other party? Why did he bring two young men back? Could they be the alchemist’s assistants here to make the welcome arrangements? “Denzel, what's wrong with you? Why did you bring the alchemist’s assistants back with you instead? I told you to invite the alchemist!” Elmer said unhappily. H
As soon as his pills were released, everyone would flock to them. Philip was confident enough to tell everyone his name. As long as he could control the lifeline of the entire practitioner world, he would have the final say. By then, he could also intervene in their actions. This was Philip’s sudden inspiration, which he had not discussed with Fennel yet. Philip winked at Fennel and greeted the head of the Harrod family. “Hello, Patriarch Harrod. I do know how to make pills, and I gave one to Denzel earlier.” Philip was very calm and did not brag about himself. Elmer did not react much, but Maurice was very excited. Maurice ran up to Philip excitedly and held his hands tightly. “Young man, would you be interested in joining the Pill Guild? I’m the leader of the Pill Guild. You can call me Maurice. If you join us, we’ll give you the best and most suitable resources!” Maurice started recruiting Philip. He could tell that Philip was not a liar, Philip had to be the a
Everyone was confused by Elmer’s reasoning. Who cared about Philip’s ambitions and aspirations? They just wanted to know if Philip was really that good. Whether or not Philip was a powerful alchemist, he would not belong to them in the end. He would only end up locked in a cage provided by the Harrod family, where he would enjoy the rest of his life. Maurice was very confident that Philip would choose to join the Pill Guild. “Sorry, I won't join anyone,” Philip said with a smile. Hearing this, the Harrod family and the Pill Guild were shocked. No one expected Philip to say that. Denzel scowled, angry that Philip went back on his words. Paco saw this scene in the tree he was hiding and felt very happy. It was good to see the Harrod family taking a fall! Elmer glanced at Denzel unhappily, disappointed that he did not handle this well. “Denzel, what’s going on?” Elmer asked fiercely, wishing he could kill Denzel. Denzel was frightened by Elmer’s anger and quickly
Maurice merely glanced at Elmer indifferently without a word. Elmer obviously did not know the effects of this pill as well but laughed at him all the same. Maurice would see who was the fool in the end. Elmer scowled at the other party’s disregard. Maurice carefully cut the pill in half, and the scent hit them. Everyone felt a pleasant sensation wash over them. It was as if their old injuries had healed. “What pill is that?” “It’s simply a miracle for a pill to display such effects!” “Can you show us the pill?” Everyone was interested and wanted to take a good look at this pill. The effects might be better if they could get a closer whiff. Maurice smugly waved the pill in the air before putting it into his pocket. He would not share such a precious pill so easily. The pill looked ordinary before it was cut open, but he could analyze the pill's efficacy through its medicinal aroma after he did. As Philip mentioned, the pill could heal someone’s injuries. J
Maurice’s objective was to sow discord between Elmer and Philip so that Philip would join him instead. With that in mind, he took action without further ado. Sure enough, his remark did have some effect. As the head of the Harrod family, Elmer was an arrogant person by birth. He always felt that talents like Philip should belong to the Harrod family. Besides, Denzel was the one who found Philip first, so Philip should rightfully belong to the Harrod family. “Hehe, you’re smart enough not to compete with the Harrod family, and our status can't be underestimated either. Although the Pill Guild is not bad, we’re not afraid of you!” Elmer said triumphantly, completely unaware that he had fallen for Maurice’s trick. The other members of the Harrod family watched helplessly. As rational bystanders, they knew that they should not act tough. Philip was a talented and prideful man at first glance. He would be annoyed if the Harrod family behaved so arrogantly. Even a dumb pers
